BREAKING REPORT | Chuck Liddell Close to a Huge Deal with Bellator | BJPenn.com
From UFC 205 all the way up until some heat with Chael Sonnen, it always seems to be penciled in but never actually happens. Our own Chris Taylor has just recently broke a report that Liddell is nearing a very profitable deal with Bellator for a career victory lap in their cage. According to sources close to the situation, former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell is closing in on a multi-million dollar fight deal with Bellator MMA. The last news about the Chuck Liddell return was that Bellator president Scott Coker wasn’t sure he could promote the return, especially the potential fight between him and and another former light heavyweight champion, Tito Ortiz. I think if they both pass a physical and Tito was healthy and his neck was healthy and he was able to perform at a high level, and they were fighting, to me is it interesting?
